I am a Child of God Block

Sunday evenings are always nice, huh?  We just go done having Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and oh, boy were they good!!  This picture does NOT do them justice.  They are delicious!

 See that gravy?  It will make your mouth water.  I have never tasted such yummy gravy {and I am not really a gravy person!}.

You should try this recipe.  Even my kids LOVED it!

Now onto more crafty related things.  
The other day I had a crafty moment so I whipped this out:


 This probably took me a total of about 1/2 hour, including drying time.  I simply painted the block (from a 2 x 6), painted it with Wedding Cake from Martha Stewart, then Mod Podged the cute paper on. 

 I LOVE the look of this paper.  It was already distressed looking.  Cool, huh?  The brand of the paper is called CRATE PAPER.  Love it!
I think is a good reminder, don't you? 
I added the ribbon and I think it matches so well.  I love the little pop of purple and green together!

 
Hope your having a fabulous Sunday!  

Thanks so much for stopping by:)

    This is wonderful! I love the lettering- it is clear yet not in your face bold-it is like there is just a gentle power to the words. The matching candles are a great look too!

    You've done it again! I'd love if you'd add this to my linky party going on now. This is so sweet and just happens to be in my little Teagan's favorite color green! I've been thinking of how to make her request for a green room be a bit girly too...this would be perfect!
